COH CORDH'M.
Breathless and unforseert, it
comes! the hour
When, on the breast of the
Beloved, we feel
Almost the secret sense of life
reveal
Its meaning, and the source of
life its power;
When, as in some vast sunrise,
like a flower,
Our soul stands open and our
eyes unseal,
While all that fear and ignor
ance conceal
Seems ir perfection life's pre
destined dower.
Then, as it were again the in
ward ear,
We hold, in silence, like a
chambered shell,
The dazed one human heart
and seem to hear
Forever and forever rise and
swell
And fall and fall on Death's
eventful shore.
Tragic and vast, Life's Inar
ticulate roar!
George Cabot Lodge.
"Certainly Mr. Taft doesn't know.
"For the President is, of course, In
capable of telling a deliberate lie in
a solemn statement to the American
people.
"And in Ms. apologia, Issued on the
signing of the bill, ho said things
about the contents of the tariff that
are not so.
"He said, for example, that the cot
ton and silk schedules had been sub
jected to a revision downward, ex
it pt as they related to the finer and
fancier kinds of goods.
"The fact is, on the contrary, that
the rates on the commoner kinds of
silks and cottons, such as ordinary
people use, have been scaled up high
er than the finer kinds.
"Certainly a raise of two cents a
yard on a six-cent calico Is, to all
practical Intents and purposes, a big'
ger boost than is a rise of three cents
on a twenty-cent fabric.
"When that day of trouble predict
ed by Senator Dolllver begins to ar
rive, Mr. Taft will need the services
of some Intercessory saint who shall
stand and cry out to the people:
" 'Forgive him, for be knew not
what he did!
"Or, 'I wot that in Ignorance he did
this.' "
WOULD IT DO HERE?
Would it be well for Pendleton to
adopt the commission plan of gov
ernment in lieu of the present coun
cilmanic system? The subject is well
worth consideration at this time be
cause a city election will be held in
December and charter amendments
may then ba voted upon.
The commission plan, in substance,
provides that the duties of managing
municipal affairs shall be left to a
mayor and two, or three, commis
sioners. Usually the officials devote
their entire attention to official work
and receive salaries in keeping with
the work they have to do.
In behalf of the commission plan
It is argued that It provides for a more
thoroughly business like administra
tion than may be secured otherwise.
The responsibility Is centered upon a
few men instead of upon a dozen and
as the officials receive pay they are
expected to attend assldiously to bus
iness. At this time Galveston, Des Moines,
Charleston, S. C, and many other
cities of that class are using the com
mission plan. The fact that the sys
tem is well I ked wherever it has been
tried is a good tribute to the merits
of the plan.
Whether r not the commission plan
would work well in a city the size of
Pendleton is a more difficult question.
There may be reasons why it would
not work as well here as in cities the
size of Galveston. At this time Pen
dleton has the service of a mayor and
eight councilmen without cost. Would
It be better to continue this system or
substitute for it one whereby the num
ber of officials would be lessened but
those who did serve would receive
compensation? This is a question lo
cal people might well ponder over at
least.
IGNOR4.NCE OR WEAKNESS?
A GREAT GATHERING.
Though Us sessions have not been
nttended by any "blare of trumpets"
the most important gathering the west
has had this year was the annual
meeting of the association of agricul
tural colleges and experiment stations
Just ended in Portland. Oregon
should feel proud of the fact that this
interesting national convention was
held within the state and there Is
room for further felicitation over the
fact that an Oregon man, Dr. W. J.
Kerr, president of the Oregon Agri
cultural college, has been chosen pres
ident of the association for the com
ing year.
The convention was important be
cause the men who attended it are
engaged in a great work. Agriculture
is the basis of most of the wealth of
the world and whatever works for the
advancement of the science of agri
culture adds directly to the welfare
of mankind. To improve the meth
ods of farming is exactly what the
agricultural college and experiment
station men do. They seek out ways
of making two blades of grass grow
where but one grew before. They have
already accomplished much along this
line though they have not been at
the work very long. As time goes
on it is inevitable that they will fill
a broader and broader field of use
fulness, their counsel will be more
willingly accepted by those who till
the soil and as a result the world will
be better fed than It has been In the
past.
MISTAKES OF WOMEN,
I have nothing to do with the ques
tion of where women fall aa a sex, but
with where some women fall Indi
vidually. One of the commonest mis
takes that women make is fulling to
realize that It is their mission to un
derstand men, and not to be under
stood by them. Men rarely under
stand the nature of women because
It is so different from their own, so
complex compared to theirs and so
changeable. Many a strong man is
ruined as a companion by a little del
icate woman who started out to wait
on him when first married. This is
the natural instinct of the loving,
womanly woman, but she would bet
ter stifle It if she knows what Is gJod
for her.
On the other hand, there are hits of
women who seem to expect to be wait
ed on, and this is as fatal as the oth
er side of the plctune. The woman
who strikes the happy medium be
tween being n baby wanting always tj
be made a fuss of. and a servant nl-
i'.ivs ready to wait on her lord and
master, Is tht woman who "manages"
Her husband.
Things don't go smoothly always In
the best regulated households, and It
Is no good starting out to expect they
will. When there is a fly In the oint
ment women resent it, and often
brood in silence over real or fancied
wrongs, or become scolds. They fall
because they hold back from facing
the trouble frankly and openly. If
they would only do that, and discuss
the matter quietly, the difficulty
would almost at once disappear.
In spite of endless repetitions, the
old adage that "The way to a man's
heart Is through his stomach," Is too
frequently ridiculed or lost sight of.
Vet It Is true.
A man does not need to be a glut-
on to prove the Importance of this
saying. He may take very little
hought what he shall "at or where
withal he shall be clothed, but If he
gets his food badly cooked, resulting
n dyspepsia, it may make him irri-
able; or, if It is badly served, he will
probably be tempted to compare it
with the nice way he gets his food in
ome restaurant or at his club. In
ny case, wife anil home suffer. Ex
aminer.

COL. BOYD'S VERSION.
In spite of the carcical attempts on
the part of partisan leaders to con
vince people that the "late lamented"
revision of the tariff waa a revision
downward It is pretty well known
that the schedules were not really
lowered. Furthermore there is a very
general belief that President . Taft
showed weakness, If not cowardice, in
submitting as he did to the Aldrlch
dictation.
"Senator Dolllver made the remark
the other day that there would be
trouble when the people came to find
out what the new tariff contains,"
says the Examiner.
"The bill is like those ancient
parchment-scrolls in which twenty
classics were written one upon an
other until they become undecipher
able by any save legal schlveners.
"Nobody knows what the tariff con
tains, except Mr. Aldrlch and those
accomplished scribes of his who have
limned Ita weltering and sryptic schedules."
TWENTY TRAIN'S DAILY.
When the O. R. & N. company
starts its new train service at 12
o'clock tonight a better service will be
provided for local people and the
number of trains in and out of the city
will be Increased. After today Pen
dleton will have ten passenger trains
In and out of the city each day upon
the main line; four passenger trains
each day upon the Spokane-Pendleton
branch; two each day upon the
Pilot Rock branch, thus making a to
tal of 16 O. R. & N. passenger trains
each day. The Northern Pacific has
four passenger carrying trains In and
out of the city daily thus making a
total of 20 passenger trains for Pen
dieton every 24 hours. This city is
by far the greatest railroad center in
the state outside of Portland.
By granting the demand of the
farmers for lower warehouse charges
the grain companies have exercised
good Judgment, though it Is possible
they acted too late to secure the usual
amount of warehouse business this
season. In raising the warehouse
charges after they had promised to
lower them the grain companies re
sorted to sharp practice. The farm
ers felt that they had been deceived
purposely and very naturally they re
sented the action. To show their re
sentment and at the same time to se
cure exemption from the high ware
house charges they stacked their
wheat In their fields. The warehouse
companies have now given up the
fight and the outcome Is as It should
have been.

Wood has been handed another tin
medal. Governor Benson doubtless
realizes that since the colonel has
been carrying the Weston fountain
around in his pocket, he merits rec
ognition of some sort and the gover
nor has been giving? him a "shower"
of appointments, which includes hon
ors from a straw guard at the peni
tentiary on visitor's day, up to a
delegate at the Trans-Misslsslppl con
gress. Even though there is nothing
in It but a badge and an electric car
ride or two save the honor really,
men of affairs and consequences are
expected to attend congress, and the
governor's mistake in appointing
Wood is at the same time rectified In
the knowledge that the state will not
be disgraced by his presence. It is
evident that Benson is somewhat of
a politician, inasmuch as the Inter
state commerce law against railroad
passes easily relieves the governor of
the stinging odium that would cer
tainly result should the colonel be
enabled to drag his miserable carcass
within the portals of the congress.
Benson is foxy. He can go on In
definitely making a tin shop out of
Wood, and rest perfectly safe In the
knowledge that his official generoa
ity will never be known outside of
what publicity the Weston Leader
gives It
CHARITY VERSUS .H'STICK.
Charity Is applied religion. Religi
on that is not applied Is not religion.
Charity Is the heart of religion and
the religion of the heart. Charity Is
that high morality, which Is the "sci
ence of minimizing human misery."
Religion Is the root of the tree of
life, Charity or social service must be
Its fruit. We can have no fruit with
out root, but we would have no tree
o? life that were all root or trunk,
and that yield neither blossoms nor
fruit. It may be true, as has been said
that social science or service cannot
take the place of religion, but It is not
less true that religion cannot be with
out social service. Social teaching
and religion are not to be substituted
for each other. The social message
of our day needs the last and largest
uplift of religion, as truly as religion
needs to be rehumanlzed and resoclal
lzed. Stephen S. Wise, Ph. D., In The
Pacific Monthly for September.
Pendleton Is the "wool town" of the
northwest. It will handle six million
pounds of wool this season. It has
the most active scouring mill in the
northwest and will very shortly have
the most up-to-date woolen mill In
the state.
The people of Pendleton can do
much towards furthering the advance
ment of this city.
